What usually goes wrong
Washer problems, in the order we see them
The symptom you notice, and what it most probably is.
- 1
Water left in the drum, or the washer will not drain
Most probably
- The drain pump filter, the coin trap, is packed with lint, coins, hair pins or a sock
- The drain pump motor has failed: it hums or stays silent, and no water moves
- The drain hose behind the machine is kinked or crushed
- The drain hose is pushed too far down the standpipe, or the standpipe itself is blocked
- 2
The washer will not spin, or clothes come out sopping wet
Most probably
- The lid lock or door latch does not read as locked, so the control will not allow spin
- Water is still in the tub, so spin never starts
- The drive belt is worn or slipping on belt-drive models
- The motor, or the sensor that reads its position, has failed on direct-drive models
- The load is badly out of balance, so the control keeps stopping the cycle
- 3
Water on the floor
Most probably
- The door boot, the rubber seal around a front-loader's door, is torn or folded
- A fill hose is split or loose, or the water inlet valve is leaking
- The drain hose is cracked, or a hose clamp has let go
- The tub seal or the outer tub is leaking
- Too much detergent: the suds push water past the seals
- 4
Banging, shaking or walking across the floor in spin
Most probably
- The suspension rods that hang the tub in a top-loader are worn
- The shock absorbers under a front-loader's tub are worn
- Shipping bolts are still in a new machine
- The machine is not level, or its feet are not locked down
- A drum bearing has failed and lets the basket move
- 5
Grinding, roaring or a rumble that gets louder in spin
Most probably
- The drum bearing is worn
- The drive motor or its bearings are worn
- Something such as a bra wire is trapped between the drum and the outer tub
- Debris is caught in the drain pump impeller
- 6
Will not start, or stops partway through a cycle
Most probably
- The control board, or the board behind the buttons, has failed
- The door lock or lid switch is not closing the circuit
- A tripped breaker or a dead outlet
- The wiring harness is damaged by heat or vibration
- No water is reaching the machine, so the cycle waits
- 7
Fills slowly, does not fill, or the water level is wrong
Most probably
- The screens in the fill hoses or the inlet valve are clogged with sediment
- The water inlet valve has failed
- The supply taps are not fully open, or a fill hose is kinked
- The water level sensor is faulty, or its pressure hose is blocked
- 8
Clothes come out still dirty, or the agitator does not move
Most probably
- The agitator dogs, the small teeth that make a top-loader agitator grip, are worn
- The drive block or the motor coupling is broken
- The belt is slipping or the clutch is worn
- The drum is overloaded, so the clothes cannot move
- 9
The door will not open, with the clothes locked inside
Most probably
- Water is still in the drum, so the lock stays shut
- The door lock has failed
- A control board fault is holding the lock closed

Washer repair by brand
LG washer repair
On LG front-loaders the usual call is a drum full of water that will not spin: the drain pump is blocked or dead, and the machine will not spin until the water is out. A drum that jerks back and forth and stops points at the sensor that reads the motor position. On LG top-loaders an off-balance stop on every load and a banging tub mean worn suspension rods.
LG washer repairSamsung washer repair
Samsung front-loaders come in for a drain pump clogged at the filter, for torn door boots, and for the drum support bracket, which corrodes and cracks until the drum bangs and scrapes. On Samsung top-loaders worn suspension rods throw every load off balance and the tub hits the cabinet in spin, and a failed lid lock stops the cycle right before spin.
Samsung washer repairWhirlpool washer repair
On Whirlpool top-loaders the usual fault is the shift actuator, the small motor that switches between agitate and spin: the washer fills, clicks and hums, then never spins or never agitates. Worn suspension rods make the tub bang in spin. Duet front-loaders come in for a split door boot, a blocked drain pump and a door lock that will not release.
Whirlpool washer repairMaytag washer repair
Current Maytag washers are Whirlpool designs and share parts and faults. A Maytag top-loader that washes but never advances to spin, leaving the load soaking, most often has a failed shift actuator or lid lock. A roar that grows in spin is the tub bearing, a bigger job. Maytag front-loaders lose spin when the drain pump clogs and end with the door locked.
Maytag washer repairKenmore washer repair
Kenmore does not build washers, and the first three digits of the model number say who did: 110 is Whirlpool, 796 is LG, 417 is Frigidaire. The maker decides which parts fit and which fault is likely. A 110 top-loader that will not spin is usually the Whirlpool shift actuator or lid lock; a 796 front-loader full of water is the LG drain pump.
Kenmore washer repairGE washer repair
On GE top-loaders the agitator stops turning partway through the wash when its coupling strips, and the mode shifter, which switches the drive between wash and spin, fails and leaves the load soaking. GE stacked laundry centers live in narrow closets, where getting the front panel off to reach the tub, the motor and the pump is a large share of the job.
GE washer repairBosch washer repair
Bosch washers are compact 24-inch front-loaders, often stacked with a ventless dryer in a condo closet, so getting at them is part of the job. The common faults are a drain pump blocked by lint or a coin, leaving water in the drum, a torn door seal that drips down the front, and on older models worn motor brushes: the drum stops turning while all else works.
Bosch washer repairSpeed Queen washer repair
Speed Queen top-loaders are built like the commercial machines in shared laundry rooms: a steel tub, a belt drive and few electronics. What wears is small: the belt, the drain pump, the lid lock, a fill valve. So nearly any Speed Queen is worth repairing at almost any age. We service them in homes and apartment laundry rooms, coin-op models included.

The visit
What happens when the technician comes
A drain pump, a lid or door lock, an inlet valve, a belt or a set of suspension rods is usually about an hour of work. A door boot or a drum bearing takes longer, because the front of the machine, or most of it, has to come apart.
The washer is pulled forward to reach its back and its hoses, so clear the top of it, the floor in front and the path to the laundry closet. In a stacked pair the dryer sometimes has to come down first; floor protection goes under all of it. If the drum is full of water, leave it. The technician drains it and gets your laundry out before anything else.
Expect a 2-hour arrival window and a phone call roughly 15 minutes before the technician reaches you. The fault is explained and the full repair price given before any part is replaced.
What waiting costs you
A washer that will not drain leaves a load sitting in dirty water. Within a day it smells, and the smell gets into the door seal and stays. Water on the floor is the bigger problem: a slow leak under the machine soaks the subfloor and, in a condo or a townhouse, the ceiling of the home below, and nobody sees it until the stain appears. A machine that bangs in spin keeps working for a while, but every load wears the bearing and the tub a little more, and a rod or damper swap turns into a much bigger repair.

Repair or replace
Repair your washer, or replace it?
Repair it when
- A pump, lid lock, door lock, inlet valve, belt, shift actuator, suspension rods, dampers or a door boot failed. These are normal repairs on a washer of any age.
- The machine is only a few years old. Almost any single fault is worth fixing then, a control board included.
- It is a simple agitator top-loader or a Speed Queen. They are easy to open, the parts are common, and they run for years after a repair.
- It is a compact or stacked unit fitted to a closet. A machine of that exact size is harder to replace than to repair.
Replace it when
- The drum bearing failed on an old front-loader and the outer tub or the drum support behind it has corroded too. That job runs past half the price of a new washer.
- The outer tub is cracked, or the cabinet has rusted through.
- The part no longer exists. A model long out of production may have no board or tub left to buy.
- It is an old machine that has already had one major repair and now needs another.
An old agitator top-loader also uses far more water than a front-loader, which belongs in the math on a big repair. The technician gives you the full repair price at your home and leaves the decision to you, and the $89 visit fee counts toward the repair if you go ahead.
Front-loaders and top-loaders fail in different places
A front-loader's weak points are the rubber door boot, the drain pump filter that catches everything left in pockets, and the drum bearing, which wears faster the faster the drum spins. A top-loader's weak points are the lid lock, the suspension rods that hang the tub, the parts that turn the agitator and, on belt-drive models, the belt. It is easier to open and quicker to repair. Stacked laundry centers and washer-dryer combos are a third case: they sit in closets, and reaching the parts is a large share of the job. If the dryer half is the trouble, see dryer repair.
Safe to check before you call
Power first. A washer that is completely dead, with no lights, is often a tripped breaker or an outlet with a reset button that has cut out. Then the taps behind the machine: both fully open, hoses not kinked, because a washer that gets no water simply waits and looks stuck. If the machine is new or was just moved, look at the back for shipping bolts; a drum still locked for transport shakes hard enough to damage the machine. On a front-loader that will not drain, the small door at the bottom front hides the pump filter. Put towels down, open it slowly, and check for a sock or coins.
When the display shows a code
A code names the job the washer could not finish, not the part that failed. OE on an LG, 5E or 5C on a Samsung and F21 or F9 E1 on a Whirlpool all mean the water did not drain in time, and the cause can be a sock in the filter, a dead pump or a kinked hose. Write the code down before you unplug the machine, because unplugging usually clears it, and tell us when you call. The full lists are in our guides to LG washer error codes, Samsung washer error codes and Whirlpool washer error codes.

The is my 2nd time using FixDaddy. The first time was to repair my LG washing machine. This time it was to repair my Creda gas stove. Scheduling was easy. They showed up on time. Provided excellent service. I will use them again.

Very professional service. Quick to respond to request and came when they said. Though I didn't have them fix my issue (I realized I should probably just buy a new dryer as there were some unknowns) there was no hard sell of any extra service.

FAQ
Washer repair: frequently asked questions
Do you repair both front-load and top-load washers?
Yes. Front-loaders, top-loaders with or without an agitator, stacked laundry centers, washer-dryer combos and coin-op washers in shared laundry rooms. Our technician works on LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, GE, Bosch, Speed Queen and the other major brands, in homes and small businesses across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.
How much does it cost to fix a washer?
We do not quote a repair price over the phone, because nobody can tell what is wrong with a washer without opening it. Our visit fee is $89. The technician finds exactly what is wrong and gives you the full repair price at your home, with no pressure. If you go ahead, the $89 counts toward the repair.
My washer is full of water and the door is locked. What do I do?
Do not force the door; the lock is holding because the machine still has water in it. Turn the washer off so nothing tries to restart, and call. Our technician drains it, releases the lock and gets your laundry out before starting on the fault, which is usually the drain pump or its filter.
Is my washer worth repairing, or should I buy a new one?
Most single-part faults are worth repairing on a washer that is not very old: pumps, locks, valves, belts, rods, boots and boards. A worn drum bearing on an old front-loader is the case where we sometimes say replace. Our technician tells you either way at the visit, with the repair price in front of you before you decide.
Can you come today?
Most days, yes. Someone answers the phone 24/7, and we book same-day visits whenever the schedule allows. You get a 2-hour arrival window and a call about 15 minutes before the technician arrives. Some towns have a washer page of their own, covering how the homes there change the job: washer repair in Arlington, Alexandria washer repair and washing machine repair in Bethesda.
What if the same problem comes back?
Every repair comes with a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. If the part we fitted fails or the same fault returns inside those 90 days, the return visit and the fix are covered.
Why does my front-loader smell musty?
Tap water across this region is moderately hard, and minerals and detergent build up as a film in the fold of the door boot, which is where the smell comes from. Leave the door open between loads, wipe the boot fold now and then, and use less detergent than the cap suggests, because too many suds also push water past the seals. If the smell comes with water that never fully drains, the pump filter needs clearing.
Do you install washers?
Yes. For a washer installation, our technician sets the machine in place, levels it, connects the hot and cold lines and the drain, removes every shipping bolt and transit brace, and runs a test cycle before leaving. Bolts left in or a washer sitting off-level are what make a new machine bang and walk on its first spin.
